It’s a calm Friday afternoon. You’re preparing a grocery list for this weekend’s get-together. Beef, buns, wings, ketchup, mustard, but suddenly…a high-pitched scream followed by a wailing sob cuts your train of thought. It’s someone in your family, and they just got stung by a bee.
Bee stings are painful, to say the least. Ice, hydrocortisone cream, and antihistamines can help soothe the pain, swelling, and redness. If you see the bee’s stinger where you were stung, it is best to get the stinger removed by a medical professional. Bee stings can cause fatal anaphylaxis in those who have allergies. If someone appears to have “shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and then swelling up the face to tongue, and lips and eyes”, call 911 for emergency services immediately. If you have it, use an epinephrine autoinjector like Epipen.
Bees are often confused with wasps, which are longer and less fuzzy. Both bees and wasps sting. You can generally think of bees as pollinators that sting in defense, and wasps as predators that sting in aggression. When a bee or wasp flies around you, do not swat at it, as any sudden movements can make a bee or wasp feel threatened, triggering their attack! Wasps construct their nests, which resemble paper-mâché, by mixing their saliva with wood pulp.
Wasps may build their nests on decks, patios, and lawns, where they find sources of food along with shelter from the weather. Ants also seem to pop up wherever there are traces of food. A backyard feast is both a buffet for insects of all kinds, as well as a danger zone of potential bites and stings. The mere presence of bugs puts most people on the edge of their seats. Furthermore, a bite or sting can even ruin an otherwise fun and relaxing brunch or barbeque with friends!
